NVDA freeze after a COMError
Steps to reproduce:
I report from a help request of an Italian user, so I'm not able to be much detailed (no direct access to the situation).
But I provide a log, that seems promising.
Actual behavior:
The user says that, when he opens a specific section of a switchboard software, NVDA freezes 2 times out of 3. The switchboard software continues to run, and, surprisingly, NVDA returns to work correctly if he closes the switchboard window.
Before a freeze he hears something like "wait cursor", while he hears something like "normal cursor" he knows all worked well.
Expected behavior:
NVDA should work always properly.
NVDA logs, crash dumps and other attachments:
The included COMError message is in Italian, but roughly means "An event failed to recall one of the subscribers".
